George S. Stevens, who died at Colora-
do Jan. %, will be remembered by many
here. Mr.. Stearns passed nearly all of

quainted with him, finding his influence
salutary and his cOmpaniOnship agreea-
BILE. Those who attended the G. A. r.
| banquet that winter will recall the neat
reply Mr.. Stevens made to the toast pro-
posed-''The Home Guard" We recol-
| lect his evident liking for journalistic
work and fendness for literary labor,
which, we learn. he entered into in the
fall of 'S3, buying interests in the Kan
sas Tribune and two other papers, and
working manfully for the temperance
cause. Literary work and delivering adj
! dresses brOuUbt hpmOrrha of the
lungs, which, undoubtedly, shortened
his life. The last year and half of his
life was passed in the Rocky Mountain
region, of which he touchingly wrote,
1T is worth coming 1000 miles to die
here" We gladly pay tribute to his
memory, for he was respected and adj
mired here among us. George Stevens
was sincere Christian and his memory
brings us naught but good.

flat-irons.-All this was represented Oh
canvas. An ancient time-piece in a tall
case of green stood, in one corner of the
stage, while in the other was a spinning
wheel. Conspicuous among the furni-
ture was a large chair, modernized by
red paint and plush cushion. The chail
was loaned by Mrs. G. B. Waite, who
prizes it highly, as it was made in 1890
